Child ’s science experiment solves chronic disease mystery

“Chew this.” I was instructed.
“But don’t swallow. Just tell me when IT happens.”
IT?
What was IT?
I’d have to find out. My researcher’s son — who enlisted me in his science experiment — wasn’t telling.
So I obliged and started chewing.
It tasted just as I expected at first. Bland. Almost cardboard-like.
And then the strangest thing occurred.
After about a minute, a hint of sweetness tickled my tongue. I kept chewing. A few seconds later, it intensified… like I was sucking on candy. And a few seconds after that it felt like I had an entire spoonful of sugar in my mouth.
What happened?
Like a shredder rips paper into little strips… my teeth and enzymes in my saliva broke down the complex molecules in the food.
In a nutshell, simply chewing the food longer revealed what was REALLY inside the food.
Now, the food I was asked to chew was what many people would consider harmless. Some would even call it healthy.
A cracker.
But as you’ve just seen, essentially it was no different than eating sugar.
That’s right… the complex carbohydrates found in starchy foods like rice, pasta, and bread quickly turn into simple carbohydrates that have the same effect on your body as sugar.
Which means they have the same harmful health effects on your body that sugar does.
But so what? How much sugar can be in a cracker?
A lot more than you would think.
Just three measly crackers break down into the equivale...
